Project 1: Making an LED light up

Materials/parts needed For this project, you can use either your Arduino kit or TinkerCAD. Note that if you don’t use a high enough resistance for your real life circuit, the LED might stop working permanently. Parts needed: Arduino Uno, wires, LED, breadboard, and a 370-500 ohm resistor.

Steps Once you have all the parts laid out, connect the components together like shown in the picture above, but before you do that, you will need the correct resistance for your resistor. How do you find the correct resistor? You can use this chart to figure out the resistances of the resistors in your kit:
